Disclaimer: I don't own Jimmy Neutron, however I do want to thank everyone who works on the show every day. Finally, an intelligent show that anyone can relate to! Keep up the great work, guys!
Cindy Vortex angrily marched up to Jimmy Neutron and shouted, "I'm NOT leaving your lab until you answer my question!"
"Why should I answer any of your questions, Vortex? You saw Timmy and he's fine. Now for the last time, GET OUT OF MY LAB!" he shouted back at her.
"Come on, Neutron! What do you have to hide?"
"What's that supposed to mean?! Look Cindy, Timmy isn't any smarter than that test tube over there. I
don't know anything about him other than just that."
"So you're jealous. Just what I thought." Cindy snorted.
Jimmy started setting up a table and placed a toolbox and some extra tools on it. He then picked up Goddard, who had been sitting on the floor of his lab deactivated, and put him on the table, quickly getting to work on fixing him back the way he was. Why doesn't she just go away? She's being such a pest! he thought angrily.
"Just get out of here! Can't you even see that I have important work to do?"
"Fine." Cindy turned and headed towards the door. "But I'm going to get some information out of you eventually. One way or another."
And with that, Cindy stormed out of his lab in a huff. He is so stubborn. He never listens to anything I say to him. What is his problem, anyway?
Jimmy sighed as he went back to work on making the final adjustments with Goddard. It had been a very long day for him and Cindy both.
"Just one last adjustment...and you're good to go, boy. There. Finished."
As Cindy was leaving Jimmy's lab and heading towards Libby's house her stress levels were already hitting an all-time high. She knew he was trying to hide something from her. What, she didn't know. But the way that Jimmy had questioned Timmy so much about her earlier left Cindy completely clueless. She glanced up at the sky only to notice greenish-looking storm clouds forming overhead.
If Neutron has anything to do with this, I'll kill him! she thought angrily. Worried, Cindy quickly ran to her best friend's house and to the situation at hand.
"What a day, Goddard. Let's see what's on television." said Jimmy as he headed back to the house.
His ears began to perk up as he heard thunder and felt the wind start to pick up. Alarmed, Jimmy and Goddard looked up at the sky to notice a funnel cloud going in and out of the clouds above, and a circular twist of the atmosphere. This wasn't good.
"Goddard! Scan the area for possible severe weather indications." he commanded as they ran to the house for cover.
Goddard started to scan the area with his radar. A map popped up on his screen identifying some super cells appearing in and around Retroville. One of the storms was headed right towards town, indicated by a blinking yellow dot on the screen.
"Leapin' Leptons! That cell is headed straight towards us!"
"Hey, Jimmy! Check out that tornado, it's cool!" shouted Sheen as he came running towards him.
"Sheen! What are you doing? You shouldn't be here!"
"I LOVE tornadoes! One time on Ultra Lord episode number 371, I saw him defeat a tornado with his super ingenious strength."
"Well, now that you're here, we better get back to the lab. I need to see where this storm's heading so I can warn the others."
"So you're saying there's a tornado heading straight towards Retroville?" asked Libby quizzically.
Cindy looked out the window in fear and cringed. "I think so...the sky looks all green. Quick, turn on the TV!"
"There is a massive severe weather outbreak in Retroville. Residents are being informed to stay inside their houses until the storms have passed. Now if we take a look on radar..."
"Look at the size of that thing! Man, I hate storms!" Libby paced around in circles nervously.
"I bet Neutron had something to do with this." grumbled Cindy as she flicked off the TV.
"I don't know, Cindy.."
"Well, you remember how one of his inventions created a tornado that literally RUINED our school play?"
"It didn't look like the one that's headed towards us now! Look Cindy, I doubt Jimmy would do anything like this."
Libby and Cindy walked into her room as she started filling her backpack with pictures, her CD player, school papers, and other keepsakes she wanted to hold onto. Cindy looked out the window at the eerie looking green sky overhead."How can we be for sure that Neutron has nothing to do with this?"
"He wouldn't change our weather for destructive purposes, girl. If something's up, he'll tell us."
In Jimmy's lab, VOX started doing an extensive scan of Retroville, locating the position of the storms and where they were going.
"According to our town's history, the last time we had any destructive storms was over thirty years ago. I've never seen anything like this before..." he said.
"This is better than watching TV!" Sheen exclaimed.
Jimmy magnified the cells at the top of his screen to get a closer look at them, while trying to pinpoint where they would strike next.
"It looks like the first group of storms will be here soon, but there are more out ahead of this massive system. Some of the storms have already produced F-4 tornadoes not too far away from here."
Suddenly, a piercing scream was heard coming from outside of Jimmy's lab.
"Jimmy! Open up! It's Carl! Hurry!"
"Carl, it's open, come in."
He leaped through the automatic door into his lab with a look of terror on his face.
"There's a TORNADO outside!" he yelped.
"Yes, we know Carl. We're trying to pinpoint the direction of the storm to see where it's going. I'm hoping there is some way I can divert these storms to another location, but I'm not sure I have the time to invent anything that would aide us in this situation."
"There has to be something you can do Jimmy!" he said, with a shaky voice as he ran behind Sheen and hid.
Jimmy looked at the radar again.
"Maybe there still is...Sheen, call Cindy and Libby and tell them to meet us here. This is the safest place to be right now.""Why Cindy and Libby?" asked Carl.
"Because Cindy is the only other person that can help me think of how we can stop the tornado, and I know she won't come without Libby."
